Oh, there was one time, I only had my jewellers saw for a couple of days and wasn't looking for safety (business as usual) and the blade broke, I stabbed myself in an finger and it went through all the way.... didn't hurt, but the pulling out was hell (especially because I'm afraid of needles... now picture that fear with a sawblade).

Death by maille brings to mind metal fumes for me. Now most kids are.probably not gonna anneal anything right away, or maybe.even ever, and kids probably shouldnt anneal period, but it might be a good thing to include in your level a blurb for those who decide to, or are mature enough to maille without supervision but may not know better that they can kill themselves.easier than they know.

Or fumes at all - there are a few normal chemicals you can use to clean. The fumes can be a health risk (a few days ago I used vinnegar to clean copper - pretty basic but it was a big piece, so a lot of vinnegar and a lot of fumes).
Good idea to add this risk.

Chemicals are a good one too! Figure maybe even stuff on chemical burns could be prudent, or how to nwutralize acids and bases could be good. Maybe the sack cloth guy could get burned up in a forge, or smashed <robhalford>BETWEEN THE HAMMER AND THE ANVIL</robhalford>.
